Meet Coquíro.
Your pitmaster in residence.

A whole-foods sous chef obsessed with live fire — and with what you actually put in your body. He knows your pantry, your grill, your no-fly list, and he cooks around them. BBQ deep, but game to range: ask for a plancha crudo, a BBQ-sushi hybrid, a smoked-fruit dessert — he's in.

§ The Kitchen

Where the fire lives.

Coquíro is a pitmaster brain first — trained on live fire, whole foods, and the technique that makes both sing. Here's what that means before he ever opens your dossier.

  1. I.
    Whole-foods pitmaster brain.

    Real technique — dry brines, reverse sears, wood pairings, internal temps. Zero corn syrup, zero seed-oil filler, zero shortcuts.

  2. II.
    Learns your kitchen.

    Foods, ingredients, cuisines, apparatus, allergies, flavors you love, flavors you don't. It all feeds the recipes he writes for you.

  3. III.
    Ranges beyond BBQ on request.

    He's a pitmaster first — not an Italian nonna or a sushi itamae. Ask for pasta and he'll pitch a BBQ-style take: smoked tomato sugo, grilled pappardelle, wood-fired ragù. Ask him to cook it straight and he will, but the fire lens comes first.

§ How Coquíro thinks

A dossier, not a diet.

Coquíro reads a living dossier on you before every recipe. You curate it in the Kitchen tab — inclusions, exclusions, gear, techniques, flavors you love or hate. It becomes context for every reply.

Inclusions

The proteins, produce, cuisines, and flavors you actually want more of. He leans into them.

Exclusions

Allergies, dislikes, ingredients you avoid. Fully yours to edit — nothing is locked except his live-fire lens.

Apparatus

Weber kettle, offset smoker, plancha, cast iron, wood-fired oven. Only recipes your gear can actually run.

Adventures

Notes for the chef: cross-pollinations you're chasing — BBQ-sushi, smoked-fruit desserts, hemispheric mash-ups.
